Chapter 169 You Are My Family
There was no trace of panic or abnormality on her face as if she was just helping him turn on his phone.
With a slight frown, Huston took the phone and glanced at it. When he saw that there were more than 20 missed calls from her, his expression changed slightly, but he did not immediately call her. Instead, he looked at Mia in front of him and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Mia bit her lip and walked up to him. “Huston, I want to discuss something with you.”
Huston said, “Go ahead.”
“You’ve also seen the results of this examination. There’s not much wrong with my body. The reason why the wound didn’t heal was because of the examination, but it’s fine now. I think…” She paused and looked up at Huston’s expression. “I want to go back.”
“No.” Huston refused without a second thought.
“Huston, I…”
Before Mia could finish her sentence, Huston interrupted, “Mia, your condition is still unstable.”
“But I’ve been here for five years. During these five years, all my

his sanatorium. I have no friends, no family, and no one to talk to. Apart from taking medicine and getting injections, there’s no point in my existence!” Mia looked at his expression calmly and said, “If my parents were still alive, they wouldn’t want to see me like this.”
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Huston’s expression changed. After hesitating for a long time, he raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder as if to comfort her. “I can’t joke about your health, Mia.”
“But George said that I can do it now.” Seeing the
embarrassment in his eyes, Mia knew that there would be no result of this request, so she didn’t force him anymore. She just clung to his clothes. “And I want to be with you. I’m so afraid that you will leave me. Except for you, I have nothing else…”
Huston pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. In the end, he still pulled her into his embrace, his fingers sliding across her dry hair. In the past, she also had beautiful long hair.
The man closed his eyes slightly. “I won’t leave you. I promised your parents that I would take care of you for the rest of my life.”
Mia listened to these warm words, but they were harsh. Every time her parents talked about these things; he would always mention them! She didn’t want Huston to stay by her side Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
because of this!
“Huston, have I become a burden to you? If that’s the case, then I’d rather die.”
“Mia!” Huston scolded her in a low voice. “What are you talking about? You know that’s not what I think. Don’t say that about yourself!”
If she said so, how could he face her parents?
“If it weren’t for my parents, you probably wouldn’t have cared about me. Huston, what am I to you?”
Huston held her hand and lowered it. He clenched his fists and
looked into her expectant eyes. In the end, he couldn’t tell her any beautiful lies. “You’re my family. I need to be responsible for the rest of my life.”
If it weren’t for the first half of the sentence, Mia would have jumped up happily. But that was the case. He had to add another premise to it.
Family.
Family affection.
That was not what she wanted.
